Cybersecurity, data breach, cyber attacks, and cyber insurance. Unless you live under a rock, you have heard of it. You better hope your lawyer has too!
Shawn Tuma argues that the minimum standard of care for lawyers practicing in 2015-16 requires a basic understanding of cyber insurance. He recently explained that argument, along with his co-author Katti Smith, a seasoned cyber insurance professional with AIG.
The Texas Bar Journal published their article, Risky Business: Why lawyers need to understand cyber insurance for their clients, in the December 2015 issue. In the article, they explain what cyber insurance is, what kinds of policies cover cyber liability, key first-party and third-party costs that should be covered by such a policy, as well as key items that are often not covered.
